Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Wang Xiangdong: "Sister Zhu, let's not overthink it. Let's just cross the river by feeling the stones. I'll just treat it as a trip to another place. Get to know the local customs and practices. As for whether I can support myself, I definitely can. I can be a bodyguard, or if that doesn't work, I'll just travel the world with my sword. Anyway, if I'm well fed, my whole family will be well fed."

After saying that, I felt something was wrong.

Uh, Sister Zhu is still with her child? Why should I show off my superiority in front of her?

Zhu Qingqing: "Traveling around the world with ease is great. Well, we just need to be optimistic.

Lao Geng, don't worry, I have skills and I won't starve. Haven't you heard that a fireman can't die of starvation?

They thought that after they got out of the mountains, they would go their separate ways. Lao Geng would go out and travel the world with his sword, while she and her mother would find a small town to settle down.

Wang Xiangdong understood the meaning of her words, which was that she would not drag him down in the future.

He, he didn't mean that.

Alas, I spoke too quickly and caused Sister Zhu to misunderstand.

I quickly changed the subject and said, “Sister Zhu, go lie down with Didi for a while, I’ll stay here.

Zhu Qingqing did not try to refuse. She had not slept a wink the previous night and was really a little exhausted now, so she went to the shack and hugged her daughter to sleep.

Didi opened his eyes, looked at his mother, rubbed against her arms, and closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Children are good, they don’t have as many worries as adults.

Zhu Qingqing shook her head and closed her eyes.

There's a patrolman outside tonight, so it's safe. I can sleep a little longer.

Zhu Qingqing couldn't help but feel lucky to have met Wang Xiangdong.

By this calculation, even if I traveled through time, it wouldn't be too bad.

In addition to my daughter, there is also a fellow villager.

Hey.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep.

They slept very soundly, and the mother and daughter were not woken up until the birdsong in the early morning.

Zhu Qingqing quickly climbed out of the shack and saw that Wang Xiangdong had already caught a few more fish and skewered them on tree branches to roast. The fish, roasted till golden brown on both sides, emitted bursts of fragrance.

"Sister Zhu, Didi, you guys should get up. I grilled some fish so we can eat well and continue our journey.

Oh, and I also boiled some water, let it cool, and put it in mineral water bottles."

"Thank you, Lao Geng."

I didn't expect that Lao Geng had such a good memory. She had mentioned before that you can't drink raw water, and she remembered it.

"Hehe, it's my duty. I can't always let Sister Zhu worry about it."

Zhu Qingqing and Wu Di went to the stream to wash their hands and faces.

Oh, it’s so hard to brush your teeth without a toothbrush.

I can only endure it.

Wu Di took the grilled fish and took a bite. "Oh, it doesn't taste salty at all."

This is a bit unbearable.

Wang Xiangdong: "Yes, there is no salt. I have to make do with it. Otherwise, I will be too hungry and have no energy to walk out."

Wu Di looked at Zhu Qingqing and said, "Mom, do you have any pickled mustard greens left? At least it'll give it a bit of salt."

Zhu Qingqing: "There were two small bags of pickled mustard greens in total, and they were all used up yesterday."

He picked up the grilled fish, tore off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, "It's not bad, your uncle Wang grilled it very fragrantly."

I thought to myself: You are the one who has so many things to do, it’s good enough to have something to eat. Naughty kids are just a burden.

Wu Di: "Mom, don't you have a pack of cookies?"

Zhu Qingqing: "Yes, I still have a pack of Oreos. I want to save it for when I can't find any food."

Wu Di: "Mom, we're going out today anyway. Is there anything to eat outside? Just give me one piece. Just one piece."

Zhu Qingqing couldn't resist, so she opened the package, took out a piece and gave it to her. She then asked Wang Xiangdong, "Lao Geng, would you like one too?"

Wang Xiangdong shook his head and found it funny. He was not a child.

Wu Di broke the Oreo apart, licked it, then took a bite of the grilled fish, licked it again, and took another bite of the grilled fish.

Zhu Qingqing almost couldn't bear to watch.

What kind of magical operation is this kid doing?

Alas, never mind.

The three of them finished their grilled fish in silence.

Cleaned up a bit.

That is to say, put the mineral water bottle and the pitch-black eight-treasure porridge can into the backpack.

Then they put out the fire, and then Wang Xiangdong, carrying the backpack (which he had snatched away) and holding a stick, led the way, while Zhu Qingqing followed behind, holding Wu Di's hand.

The three of them started a new journey.
